So what are those of us who wish to drive US made passenger cars supposed to do?

13. First, you don't worry; be happy.

Next, you do what consumers do: seek alternatives, substitutes, or go without.

I was a teacher and am still an educator. Although my vehicular preferences and motivations were likely different than yours, my alternative was a 2018 Toyota Prius Eco. It functions quite similar to US-brand vehicles in transporting me in adequate comfort. It has all the conveniences I need. Its 60-65 mpg performance saves me time and $$, and weans me a bit more from Big Oil. It's low emissions are a contribution I can make to sustaining the planet, our collective health, and our future. It offers a teachable moment for my children and grandchildren, or others, and most respect me for it, although drivers of oversized trucks who are compensating tend to get pissed off at the sight of it.

I hope it lasts as well as my 1998 Sienna which had 383,000 miles on it and had been in all 48 states when I drove it in and traded it. They gave me $1500 for that thing, noting that a local taxi company would take it immediately.

Good luck with everything. Your options are open and vast.
